Zinedine Zidane ended his playing career with a headbutt. The one dealt to Marco Materazzi in the final of the 2006 World Cup in Germany. The Italian has spoken out on this clash on numerous occasions, saying that he was ready to give up. But ZZ remained discreet.
This Wednesday, Christophe Dugarry, Zidane’s friend, had to express himself on the subject. For him, Materazzi is too much of a “playboy” talking about the French legend in each of his media outings and it becomes annoying in the long run.
“Zidane doesn’t give a damn about Materazzi”
“Zidane will not forgive him. Why would he forgive him? Materazzi has been advertising this for years. He laughs about it, he brags about having succeeded in getting Zidane to unpin him. Materazzi has spent his entire career punching and doing stupid things on the field. He is world champion, he has done incredible things. But in his interviews, he always talks about Zizou while Zizou never talks about him,” confided the 2006 world champion.
Duga then concluded by indicating that the ex-Interist had better mind his own business and stop blabbering indiscriminately: “The trauma for Zizou is to have lost this final, and certainly to have made this gesture of which he is not proud. But Materazzi’s behavior… Making up with Zidane? He can wait until the end of his days. Zizou doesn’t give a damn about Materazzi while Materazzi is always talking about him. The number of people who promote themselves by speaking on Zizou… Zizou never speaks. Materazzi, shut up! He just has to say that he doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. But no, he continues to play the role. We really don’t care about him. »
